There is a couple tickets on better error handling already. So it is only a matter of time now. To turn on .py generation just have KID_OUTPUT_PY="true" in your server's environment.

OK - I have the .py creation turned on.  Here's the bottom of the traceback again:

  File "/usr/local/apps/python2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid-0.8-py2.4.egg/kid/__init__.py", line 314, in transform
    By default, the `pull` method is called to obtain the stream.
  File "/usr/local/apps/python2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/kid-

0.8-py2.4.egg/kid/__init__.py", line 273, in pull
    try:
  File "/home/jmjones/svn/home/pppweb/trunk/pppwebproject/tg/pppweb/pppweb/templates/view_cart.py", line 19, in initialize
    rslt = initialize(self)


  File "/home/jmjones/svn/home/pppweb/trunk/pppwebproject/tg/pppweb/pppweb/templates/master.py", line 21, in initialize
    def initialize(self):
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Here is some context around line 21 in my master.py:


     14 def initialize(template): pass
     15 doctype = (u'html', u'-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN', u'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd')
     16 import sitetemplate
     17 from turbogears import identity
     18 from cherrypy import session
     19 class Template(template_util.get_base_class(sitetemplate, __file__),BaseTemplate):
     20     _match_templates = []
     21     def initialize(self):  #<- The exception is happening here because it says that it's not callable
     22         rslt = initialize(self)
     23         if rslt != 0: super(Template, self).initialize()

And here is some context around line 19 in my view_cart.py file:

     13 BaseTemplate = kid.BaseTemplate
     14 def initialize(template): pass
     15 doctype = (u'html', u'-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN', u'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd')
     16 class Template(template_util.get_base_class('master.kid', __file__),BaseTemplate):
     17     _match_templates = []
     18     def initialize(self):
     19         rslt = initialize(self)
     20         if rslt != 0: super(Template, self).initialize()

Any idea what's going on or where I can look to figure this out?  It's not consistently happening.  It only happens after a certain sequence of events, but not always.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Are you possibly using the variable name initialize in the bad cases?
